TIL!
And emigration? Easy, hard, depends on who you are?
It’s easy if you have a background in a highly desirable career. It’s even easier if you speak French.
My wife and I are both in technology. Luxembourg rolled out the red carpet for us.
Math teacher, hopefully soon with a PhD in education (is there a University of Luxembourg?) 3 years of French in high-school but so bad they laughed at “the Americain” in Nice when I ordered a coffee and pastry.
So I have a chance?
ETA: Is there a de facto age maximum like the UK has? They don’t like it if you are 50 or older.
If you ever come back, go up to Clervaux to see the memorial commemorating the Battle of the Bulge, which crossed the northern tip of the country. Truly lovely village, too.
The American cemetery is also beautiful and worth visiting.
It’s complicated. But we are sure no Parisians or New Yorkers. Which is good in a way and bad in another.
And yes, we are provincial indeed.
Very well explained, though it is even more complicated (!) than that.
You also claimed that the only internationally known Luxemburg politician is Jean-Claude Juncker, it seems Gaston Thorn is forgotten. Here to remember him:
Watching live YouTube feed.
I’d be skeptical. Luxembourg is very generous in hiring teachers, but you pretty much must be fluently trilingual — French, German, and English. (If you have those, though, you can expect a very generous paycheck.)
There is a University of Luxembourg, and it’s reasonably well respected despite its size.
The language requirement for instructors, though, is a steep hurdle for outsiders.
Funny you should mention this. My older daughter started her lycée years at the school named for him. When it opened, everyone here wanted to know why they’d chosen the name.
He is forgotten in Luxemburg? 
No, it’s the expats that send their kids to that school that don’t know him. Yet. But they search.
Looks like a nice school:
our pillars: democracy, music, digital world.
OK, that is a sound foundation.
It’s an excellent concept. Unfortunately it’s also a brand new school and they’re trying to figure out how to make the concept work in reality, so the pedagogy is a huge mess. We transferred our daughter out to another school after three months.
Watching the flag being raised. This is very interesting!
Wow, that is a moving video of a beautiful memorial. And Patton’s buried there? I knew he died in Europe, after the war concluded, in an auto accident, but I did not know he was buried in Luxembourg.
ETA: @Cervaise, thank you for telling us so much about the adopted home you clearly love deeply.
That’s never been my experience in Paris.
YouTube is all well and good, but what’s far more significant: Luxembourg made the front page of Wikipedia, man! That’s glory for you!
(In the In The News section).
Query to a nitpick: can you explain this one, please? I’m not following it. Why was Wilhelm II not the last German Kaiser?
Ok, I understand why this wasn’t clear: @Pardel-Lux said that the last two German Kaisers were named Willhelm, as many people would say. But they forget that Friedrich III reigned for a small period of time (about 100 days) in between the two Willhelms. Willhelm I became Kaiser in 1871, and when he died in 1888, his son and heir Friedrich already lay in his dying bed with cancer and died a short time later, so his son Willhelm became Kaiser Willhelm II. He abdicated in 1918 and was in fact the last German Kaiser.
Willhelm #1 → Friedrich → Willhelm #2
Like so? 
Exactly!
Well, if we are nitpicking – and of course we are, we love it! – Wilhelm is written in German with one single “l”, not two. So it is more like this:
Wilhelm #1 → Friedrich 
→ Wilhelm #2 
Yeah, that was my bad. I should know better…
